Don't hold your breath. If the studio decides to just stick to cannon material they could push out a block of 50 great episodes easily but that is never gonna happen. On top of that not only do they seem to like doing unnecessary filler arcs but when it comes around to actual canon material like the last arc (Hidan and Kakuzu) or any other arc of Shippuuden thus far, they insist on putting their own little spin on things so even a supposedly canon arc can't be taken at face value.
It's kinda sad but at this point its fairly evident that the anime will never be what the manga is as long as studio pierrot is producing it. Although I think it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say this, just a little bit, but Naruto Shippuuden is to the Naruto manga what the 4Kids dub of One Piece was to One Piece.
-Btw just how many of these threads do you guys intend to make?
